Hmm okay agree to disagree, we need to put all our efforts into signing a 1v1 winger, ridiculous we're still even talking about this at this stage,
He’s a solid player and if was playing for Fulham and Brentford in a low or mid block with lots of protection he’d be fine. For us, with the CBs on the halfway line he’s all wrong. He’s also not great with the ball as a CB too.
Yeah that's good to hear but it's time for action not column inches from beat reporters.
They must have had other options than Neto if they decided 50m was too rich for Levy's blood. There were rumours of a Kubo bid very early in the summer and Doue interest after that but if they were also too expensive, surely they have been sounding out a deal for the 4th name down the list?
I guess the issue now is persudaing the 4th name on your list that YOU really want HIM. We always talk about making sure the player wants Spurs, now we need to hope we can sell a vision to the player at this stage of the window. Or we end up with a mercenary option like Chiesa who will work for the best offer.
You sound a little confused in your thinkinng here.
Almost as if you want to blame Levy for anything that could even possibly go wrong.
Thing is he’s delivering on the prospects. The squad is now looking full of young talent. He’s also done well on shifting unwanted players in a stagnant market. But the plan was clearly to get in at least two PL-ready players who wouldn’t need to adapt.
If we have spent the summer kicking Eze’s tyres hoping Palace somehow decide they’ll reduce the fee it’s just been such waste of time. As soon as they lost Olise it was blindingly obvious they wouldn’t need to sell, and only the release clause would do.
He's got rid of 7 or 8 of our 10 biggest deadweights.
Sure, incomings are on the low side but we don't know what's being worked on or what's really been tried. Because on top of cutting our shite, he's also cut the leaks.
They got twitchy towards the club that's what we want. That puts the pressure on the club.
How are you struggling to understand that?
Ange hasn't been trophyless for 20+ years, he's only just got here. Ange wasn't responsible for the mess that our squad was when he got here.
I give Levy and the club credit for bringing Ange and building a new structure but the pressure for success has to stay firmly aimed at them too.
I saw online that Lange was specifically brought in to help with the HG "issue."
Plan was to bring in English talent (Gallagher, Eze, Solanke etc) but also buy great young talent who will become HG in future (Gray, Bergvall) and get rid of talent who weren't suited and taking up a foreign spot.
But I'm not sure I believe that. Gallagher was linked before he got here and I think the plan to bring in great young talent was Paraticis ideas.

I love that we're now at the stage of denying any position in the squad is lacking, because "Gray can play there".
Kids gonna be fucking knackered playing all these games at cb, rb, cm..
He'll be our back up to Vicario before long!

Fairly sure if Ange absolutely shit the bed you would blame ENIC though.
Prob the same in sticking an academy player on the bench, not that unusual
The one signing really means two as besides getting a centre forward we also get a much better left wing in Son.
Yeah I dunno. Dragusin and Bergvall were coups, I think we overpaid for Gray but I suppose the youth signings are very important.
It’s just, to mine eye we seem to have identified the most basic and obvious set of 4 targets in the world: Eze, Neto, Solanke, Gallagher. It takes about one weekend watching PL football to identify them 4. We’ve wasted all window on them and it’s now obvious that we’ll be walking away with only one of them. Stinks of naïveté. Something we’d do under Redknapp. Or perhaps we’re listening to Ange too closely?
Would be nice if we could get them to the same club, like with Devine and Phillips last year.
Help them keep/build the continuity of playing together.
Also benefits the settling in, although at the same time removing a little of the finding your own feet toughening up side of it I guess.
Jose has got a ham in the freezer, near it’s use by date.
What is a generational talent, so many youngsters called that these days?
How many seriously want Kulu as a centre forward after what, 3 games?

What do you mean by shit the bed?
Conte shit the bed. Levy deserved some of the blame for that too.
